Ernest Hemingway House Museum

The Ernest Hemingway House Museum is a house on the outskirts of Havana, where in the morning, standing by his typewriter, the talented American writer Ernest Hemingway drew creative energy. This very energy resulted in the excellent works of the master of the pen – “The feast that is always with you”, “For whom the bell tolls”, “Beyond the river, in the shade of trees”.

Here Hemingway spent the last 20 years of his life with his third wife Martha Gellhorn, who, by the way, was the initiator of the purchase of an enviable home.

The furnishing of the house fully corresponds to the taste of the eccentric lover of fishing in the open sea and hunting big game. Hunting trophies from Africa and posters depicting the writer’s favorite bullfight are hung everywhere, and the library holds more than 9,000 books. Here the writer posted his collection of weapons, badges and all sorts of memorabilia, photos of his three children.

As a museum, the house opened its doors in 1962. Here everything remained intact, as in the life of the master, up to the shoes of the 48th size, exposed for airing in front of the door. In this regard, the museum is not allowed, allowing only to look through the open windows. This fact makes you think, “Maybe the writer just went out for a walk?”
